# -------------------------------------------- # CITATION file created with {cffr} R package # See also: https://docs.ropensci.org/cffr/ # -------------------------------------------- cff-version: 1.2.0 message: 'To cite package "gittargets" in publications use:' type: software license: MIT title: 'gittargets: Data Version Control for the Targets Package' version: 0.0.7.9000 identifiers: - type: doi value: 10.32614/CRAN.package.gittargets abstract: In computationally demanding data analysis pipelines, the 'targets' R package (2021, ) maintains an up-to-date set of results while skipping tasks that do not need to rerun. This process increases speed and increases trust in the final end product. However, it also overwrites old output with new output, and past results disappear by default. To preserve historical output, the 'gittargets' package captures version-controlled snapshots of the data store, and each snapshot links to the underlying commit of the source code. That way, when the user rolls back the code to a previous branch or commit, 'gittargets' can recover the data contemporaneous with that commit so that all targets remain up to date. authors: - family-names: Landau given-names: William Michael email: will.landau.oss@gmail.com orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1878-3253 preferred-citation: type: manual title: 'gittargets: Version Control for the Targets Package' authors: - family-names: Landau given-names: William Michael email: will.landau.oss@gmail.com orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1878-3253 notes: https://docs.ropensci.org/gittargets/, https://github.com/ropensci/gittargets year: '2021' repository: https://ropensci.r-universe.dev repository-code: https://github.com/ropensci/gittargets commit: c678c41c0f2e4357e817eb61c3a35f1bdbc305f3 url: https://docs.ropensci.org/gittargets/ contact: - family-names: Landau given-names: William Michael email: will.landau.oss@gmail.com orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1878-3253
